Besides a new mayor, the City of Carmi will also have some new faces on its city council beginning May 6 when those elected Tuesday will begin their terms.

Sheila Headlee ran unopposed for Ward 1 alderman, taking the seat vacated by Tim Pollard, who decided not to run for reelection. Keith Davis beat opponent Leon Groves (396-307) in the race for Ward 4 alderman, which was left vacant by the retiring Ralph Anselment.

Remaining aldermen not required to run this election are Mark Blake, Kenneth Carter and Jack Lamont. Jeff Pollard's term was unexpired, so a new alderman will have to be appointed to complete the unexpired two-year term.

Brian Allen held off three opponents to win the city clerk's position being vacated by the retiring Don Kittinger. Allen drew 887 votes while Dee Blazier drew 787. Irma O'Dell drew 209 and Harry Fey 34.

Other village presidents and mayors around the county were unchallenged. Henry Feldmann will remain Crossville's mayor for another four years, as will Roy Kissel in Norris City and Tom Harbour in Enfield.

Other preliminary results from Tuesday's races with more than one person seeking the listed office include:
